Rabiu Kwankwaso, the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) presidential candidate, has taken a dig at Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for failing to show up at the ongoing presidential town hall organized by Arise TV and the Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD).

Kwankwaso criticized Tinubu for failing to attend or send a representative to the event meant for presential candidates to share their ideas about security and the economy with Nigerians.

The NNPP candidate spoke against the backdrop of a mild drama that played out before the commencement of the meeting after some attendees kicked against Atiku’s representation by his running mate, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.

Taking a jibe at Tinubu, Kwankwaso said Atiku was better off having sent a representative than “a candidate” who didn’t show at all or send representation.

Tinubu was meant to be among the four candidates to grace the first edition of the town hall but was replaced at the last minute with Kola Abiola, the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) presidential candidate.

No explanation was given for the APC candidate’s absence.

Meanwhile, Kwankwaso had failed to attend a similar town hall meeting organized by the Arewa House which had Tinubu in attendance.

The live town hall with a focus on Security and the Economy was organized for presidential candidates of the Labour Party, Peter Obi; New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso; Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Kola Abiola; and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, who is being represented by his running mate, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.

PresidObi:
It's not an offence to be old or sick. Allow Tinubu to win, even if he will be on coma, he will make a good president.

How can an unfit Tinubu make a good president

PresidObi:


Both Tinubu and Atiku are unfit. Age is no longer on their side.

XerXers:
Urchins will soon ignore him and start attacking Peter Obi

Advocate500:
The north are for each other, irrespective of the party they belong,they fought Atiku because they wanted buhari,today they are not fighting him because they have nobody to replace him.

When kwankwaso told obi that he can't deputies him because the north want the president,they thought he was mocking a particular section of the country.
